Yesterday (June 26), when the news came that Mr. Li Yiqing, honorary vice chairman of the Sichuan Writers Association and a famous writer, had passed away due to illness, the literary circles were filled with a cry of regret and mourning.
"It is a pity that he died so young! May the brothers rest in peace! "From a certain point of view, Li Yiqing is a benchmark writer." "Li Yiqing was the bearer of the great Sichuan local literature after Zhou Keqin." "His death is a great loss to The Sichuan literary circle!" ......
This morning, the reporter contacted Li Yiqing's son Li Yawei, whose death hit him hard. He wrote sadly: "A few months ago, you told your granddaughter that after Grandpa left, it would turn into stars in the sky, and when you thought of Grandpa, look up at the sky. You're gone, my sky is falling, and there are still stars. When I was a child, you carried me, and I spent a happy childhood on my back. When I grew up, the only time I carried you was to go to the hospital, but I never carried you home. ”
Li Yawei used three words to describe his father in his eyes: "High moral character, humble, simple and sincere." ”
Li Yiqing was with his family
According to Li Yawei, during his father's postoperative recovery, he insisted on reading and writing with illness and was exhausted. Nearly 200,000 words of long stories, more than 60,000 words were completed during illness, and finally, sitting in front of the computer was too weak to persist.
Li Yiqing has published novels such as "Father and Fellow Countryman", "Peasant", "Mu Duo", short story collection "Shan Bar Ye", "One Eye of a Fool", and the film and literary script "Looking Up is Heaven" and "Top Priority". Among them, the film "Defendant Shan BarYe", which is based on the novella "Shan Bar Ye", has won the Best Feature Film of the 15th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards and the Best Feature Film of the 18th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, and the Sichuan Opera of the same name has won many national awards such as the Huabiao Award, the Five One Project Award of the Central Propaganda Department, and the Cao Yu Literature Award.

According to Nanchong writer Chen Xin, when he was very young, he had heard of the movie "Defendant Shan Barye", and at that time he knew that it was based on the novella of the same name by Nanchong writer Li Yiqing. Like "Defendant Shan Bar", there is also a Sichuan novel "Xu Mao and His Daughters", which is also very influential. Zhou Keqin, the author of Xu Mao and His Daughters, was also a farmer. "Xu Mao and His Daughters" is hailed as the primrose that writes about China's rural reform, while "Defendant Shan Barye" is hailed as a living teaching material for legal popularization education in the new rural era. It can be said that Zhou Keqin and Li Yiqing are his inspirational role models in writing, and their dedication, tenacity, and low-key humility to their literary pursuits have deeply influenced him.
Every time Li Yiqing came to Chengdu before his death, he usually contacted the writer Luo Weizhang, and the two exchanged creative ideas together. Several of his works, such as "Shan Bar Ye" and "Mu Duo", have been influential, "Shan Bar Ye" has been adapted into a movie, and "Mu Duo" has been adapted into Sichuan opera, which is an important force in Sichuan's literary circle. He completed a new novel two years ago, and my "Sichuan Literature" published about 40,000 words, but unfortunately the single edition has not yet been published. ”
Luo Weizhang recalled: "Li Yiqing was a diligent and serious writer with a low education, but his novel language was simple and ancient, and he had a very obvious foundation in ancient literature, which proved that he attached great importance to a certain inheritance, including the inheritance of language. ”
